What the String was For,
IVom the Lewiston {Me.) Journal.
A woman in one of the Lewiston
dry goods stores was in a quandary
Friday forenoon. She had too many
strings on her fingers. “Now,” said
she, “that string on my forefinger is
to remind me to get four yards of
baby ribbon, and that red stiing
there is so as I wont forget to call at
the stove store and get the wash
boiler that’s bein’ mended. The
piece of yellow ribbon is for pow¬
dered sugar for cake for the festival,
and the yarn on my thumb is, lem
me s c-, is to get four skeins of do¬
mestic yarn for mittens for the boys.
What puzzles me is this other piece.
Seems though it was somethin’ about
givin’ the horse some dinner some¬
where, hut I don’t just remember.
Oli, dear me! How nervous it makes
me! I want twelve yards of un
bleached cotton cloth and two spools
of thread. I’ve got to get some vcb
vet to trim over my new winter bon¬
net, and I want some hairpins and
and some buttons for my cloak, and
some niching, and won’t you let me
[ook at some of your winter gar.
ments, and there! I want two sticks
of braid, black, please, and two pa¬
pers of pins, and a paper of needles
and some whalebones, and a yard of
brown silesta, two spoils of twist,
and wlnvt sort of lace have you got
to trim a dress for my dau—oh! mer¬
cy sakes! What an escape! Isn’t it
fortunate! I’ve just recalled what
that string is for. It’s to remind me
to call at my sister’s in Lewiston,
and get my daughter, who has been
visiting here to take her home with
me. Oh, my poor memory! Isn’t it
fortunate that I put the string on
my finger. Good day; you put up
the goods and I’ll be back after them,’
and she went out before the clerk
had time to penetrate the trade mark¬
ed chestnut, “is that all?” What a
blessing is forgetfulness.”
Little Mabel has had a birthday,
and is 5 years old. She has a little

“Now, Willie, you must put your
arm about me so,” drawing it around
her waist, “and I’ll put mine so,
around your neck, and then we'll
walk along, and you must tell me that
you love me. That’s courting, and
we must begin some time.”—Detioit

A Remarkable Wound.
Nashville, October 31.—A re¬
markable case is reported by a relia
pliysician, Dr. Pcetc, of Humboldt,
Turin. About eight months ago a ne¬
gro living there had a personal on
counter with a sable brother and was
badly wounded iu tbc face by a
tliurst from an umbrella. The wound
was sewed up, and in a few weeks
was entirely healed. The negro rais¬
ed a good crop this years, working
all the time. Several days ago he be¬
gan to suffer considerable pain from
tho old wound and experienced great
difficulty in opening his mouth. Fin¬
ally he sent for Dr. Peete to treat
him, who decided that the blow from
the umbrella bad probably fractured
the bone of bis face, which created
the trouble. He made an incision just
below the cheek-bone and extracted
a piece of the umbrella-handle about
five inches in lenght. The handle had
penetrated the face and broken off.
The broken piece was about three
fourths or an inch in diameter. The
case is remarkable. Dr. Peete will
report D in a medical journal.

WHY AX AU11URN ltEI.T.K EA11.KD TO
APPEAR AT THE MARK! AUK AI.TAR.
From the Mew Fork World.
Arm lix, N. Y., Oct. 29—John
Beard and Miss Frankie Perrigo, of
this city, arc a young couple who
have been very much in love with
each other for over a year, and final¬
ly decided to get married. The time
set for the wedding was at 9:30
o’clock at St John’s Episcopal church
At that hour this morning Rev. F.
A. D. Launt, paster of the church,
Mr. Board and his best man. Mr.
Goldthorpe, went to the church and
awaited the coming of the bride and
her friends. As the moments flew by
and she did not appear, the grooui
began to consult his watch and look
nervous, lie held a council with his
friends and (he minister, and ac¬
knowledged to them that Frankie’s
parents were opposed to her marriage
with him. It was decided that the
minister and Mr. Goldthorpe should
go to Frankie’s home and ascertain
why she did not come to her own
marriage. When the envoys reached
her home Frankie’s father was doing
guar-l duly in the front yard, lie in¬
formed the gentlemen that his daugh¬
ter was in the house and that he
would shoot her if she tried to go out
It she married Beard, he declared, he
would fill both of them with bullets,
lie could not be pacified and the two
men resolved to see the girl, hut this
Mr. Forrigo objected to and flourish¬
ed a revolver, threatening to shoot
them if they tried to enter the house.
lie did not frighten them very
much and they went into the house
and found her who expected to he a
bride tied to a bedstead with a rope
Mr. Launt released her and she ex¬
pressed a willingness to leave tin
house, but declined when her father
threatened to shoot her if she did.
lie said he was willing to he hangel
for it. The minister and his compan¬
ion left the house, when Miss Perri¬
go promised to leave home as soon
as she could and meet her intended
at tlie minister’s study, where they
would he married. Tho matter rests
here. Perrigo had not cooled down
this evening, still expressing a de
sire to shoot some one.
A Honey Story
An amusing anecdote is related in
“Feminine Monarchy,” an old book
printed in 1609, and given by a Rus¬
sian ambassador to Rome as “writ¬
ten out of experience by Charles
Butler.” A man was out in tlie woods
searching for honey. Climbing a
large hollew tree, lie discovered an
immense “find” of the luscious pro¬
duce. By some means, however, he
missed his footing, and slipped into
the hollow, sinking up to his breast
in honey. He struggled to get out,
but without avail. He called and
shouted, but alike in vain. He was
far from human habitation, and help
tbero was none, for no one heard his
cries. At length, when lie had begun
to despair of deliverance, he was cx
tnrjAtcd in a most remarkable arid un¬
expected way. Strange to say, an¬
other honey-hunter came to the same
tree in the person of a large bear,
which, smelling the honey, the scent
of which had been diffused by the ef¬
forts of the imprisoned man, mount¬
ed the tree and began to lower him¬
into the hollow.
The hunter, rightly concluding that
die worst could he but death, which
he was certain of if he icmained
where he was, clasped tho bear a
round the loins with both hands, at
the same time shouting with all his
strength. The bear, what with the
handling and the shouting, was very
seriously frightened, and made speed
to get out of his fix. The man held
fast, and tlie bear pulled until, with
his immense strength, he drew the
nian fairly out of his stmri g 0 p rison .
jj ear being released, made the
j (egt ^ wa y morc frightened
than hurtj h-aving* the man, as the
s t or y quaintly says, iu “joyful fear.”

How He was Won.
From the Baptist Weekly.
Not long ago, in a New England
town, a new minister had been called
and settled. In that town was an
old reprobate, whom nobody respect¬
ed or spoke to who could avoid it.
He had never been known to go in¬
side of a chuck. He worked when
driven by necessity to do so, and
loafed about the town a common
nuisance. A few days after the new
minister came to the town be met
the old sinner on the village street,
and bowing, spoke a pleasant “good
morning” and passed on. The old
man turned and looked after him.
and made inquiry of some one as to
who he might be. The same hap¬
pened a day or two afterwards; and
again during tlie space of a week or
two. So mo one told the minister
that he had made a friend of old--,
and laughingly told him that he was
wasting his politeness otf that old
reprobate. “Never mind,” said the
minister, “it does not cost much to
be- polite, and no move to an old rep¬
robate than to the squire of the town.
It \yas not long till old ---was no¬
ticed creeping into the corner of the
church farthest from the pulpit and
nearest the door, Ho bad conic in
late and was first to leave the church.
He came again and again, and was
finally brought to Christ, and during
the rest of his life lived a consistent
and earnest Christian life, lie said
the minister’s bow was what did it.
We do not know whether ibis little
incident has any lesson in it for any
of our readers, but we give it as it
was told to us.

Cotton Planters.
Some of our esteemed coutcmpor
aries evidently have a poor opinion
of the average cotton planter. The
Vicksburg Journal, lor example when
treating of a possible organization
against the American Cotton Seed
Oil Trust, says; “The planters would
rather sink into abject poverty, than
combine and stick together as a unit
on anything, no .natter bow vital to
, | lL .; r interests ”
The New Orleans
crat, reviewing past evidence, is
tempted to endorse this judgmeni.
“No country in the world,” says
the Journal, “has been more impov¬
erished than the cotton States
through the suicidal policy of selling
the seed instead of returning it to
the soil.” If this be true, bow can
such men expect to prosper? They
curie the tariff, and yet this
erishment appears to be largely of
their own improvidence
Jessncss.
The Journal finally declares that
“if the present low price of seed
shall cause planters to put them on
their lands, it will prove the greatest
blessing given to Southern agricul
turc since the war.”
If cotton planters have so great
an advantage with their seed for fer
tilizalion, aid fail to use it, they
would seem to be victims of stupidi
ty, as well as an easy pre.y of the
smat Yankee. People who are
ed in the balance and found wanting
usually lose their possessions, and
prosperity is promised only to the
diligent.—Augusta Chronicle.
During the earthquake in Charles¬
ton the terror of tlie negroe, as is
well known, was simply indescriba
ble. Many were the novel petitions
offered up, but here is one that for
novelty and earnestness exceeds them
all; “Oh, Lord, come down nojiv,
come rite er’long; (the ground was
shaking rapidly). Do:-’t waste no
time, good Lord, but come rite down
Don’t send nobody in your place,
not even yo’ blessed son, good Lord.
I)is ain’t no chile’s play. We want
you, an’ dat mi’ty fast!”
--------
Northern papers continue to harp
upon the humbleness of the cabins
where Southern negroes dwell, in
the country. If the white working
men of the North were half as hap
py and content as those negroes they
might exchange with profit to them
selves.
The Uses of Cotton Seed
Cotton seed oil may be described
in general terms as a universal car¬
bonaceous substitute and fatty adul¬
terant. It serves ou occasion as but¬
ter, lard, lubricating oil, soap grease
pomade, ointment or illuminat. With
it the baker mixes his pastry, the ar¬
tist his paints, and the glazier his put¬
ty. Miners in the West use it for
lighting almost to the exclusion of
all other oils. As a food it is recom¬
mended by the purveyor of the Brit¬
ish army, in a recent report to Par¬
liament, as containing ninety-six per
cent, of nutriment. The French as
well as all other Latin races of South'
ern Europe, use it largely with cereals
as a substitute for meats. In the Rus
sian army it forms a portion of the
regular ration, and even in far Sibe¬
ria it appears as a part of every hun¬
ter’s supplies. Its use as food in Ger¬
many and England is rapidly extend¬
ing, and every succeeding year brings
a greater demand for the oil from
every quarter where it his been in¬
troduced. The American public,
whose squeamish talc finds nothing
offensive in “high” game, or beef
and pork tainted by disease, has hard
'.v begun to recognize cotton seed
oil as in itself a pure and whoiesome
article of food. It is steadily bought
as an adulterant of lard orbuttesine.
It masquerades on our table as pure
olive oil. Bakers who use it general¬
ly conceal the fact, although three
l'°"" dfi of oil will supply the place
of pounds of lard, and produce
better results.

A South Carolina Legend.
Down near Montmorenci, on the
South Carolina railway, is reported
a most wonderful freak of lightning
which occurred nearly twenty years
ago. The story goes that on a cer
tain day a pretty country maiden
started to the spring near the house
for a pitcher of fresh water. Before
reaching the spring a heavy thunder
cloud burst, and the young lady, in
order to better protect herself from
the wind, sat the pitcher on top of a
post nearby. Just as she did so a
heavy flash of Jsghtning killed her
dead, at the same time firmly gluing
or fixing the pitcher to the top of the
post. Tlie vessel was not broken,
but became a part of the wood, and
has so remained for twenty years,
Any conductor on the road can point
out this wonderful freak ef nature,
and thousands of people since that
time have been shown it and the
story related.

usually starts out immediately after
